A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes with consistent, even stroke weight. Corners are softly radiused while straight stems and flat terminals keep the overall texture crisp and controlled. Counters tend toward squarish rounds, with tight apertures and minimal contrast, producing a uniform, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Curved letters like C, O, and S read as squircle-like forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Z) stay sharp and economical within the narrow set width.
This face suits interface labels, dashboards, and product UI where compact spacing and clear, consistent forms are beneficial. It also works well for tech-oriented branding, packaging, and signage, and can deliver a strong, futuristic headline presence at medium to large sizes.
The tone feels contemporary and technical, with a subtle retro-digital flavor reminiscent of control panels and sci‑fi titling. Its rounded geometry softens the rigidity of the construction, creating an approachable but still highly systematic voice.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical geometry into a practical, legible sans that feels modern and systematized. By combining rounded-square curves with restrained detailing and even strokes, it aims for clarity, compactness, and a distinct tech-forward identity.
Letterforms lean on modular construction and simplified joins, which helps maintain a steady color in lines of text. Distinctive details—like the squared-off bowls and compact proportions—make it especially recognizable in headings and interface-style settings.
